I really wish the author had not been cropped out. I would love to see their other insights. :)

To work out if they're stirring it for fun or actually believe that sort of stuff? The latter would be funnier, but also really stupid and sad.

Yeah. It looks like something I would post to see who falls for it. But it is more likely that it is someone who has no clue.

Actually that's just coal dust.

Exactly how old is Jamie Hyneman???

This is an old picture but it definitely belongs in "the very bad ideas thread".

I kind of want to put "adjective-described" as an adjective in my resume. Like "Adjective-described experience with Go, C++, and JavaScript".

Firefox is using more memory than Visual Studio?
Well, after a few hours on what.thedailywtf.com, I restart my browser because it ceilings cpu and memory usage.

I think this is the most objectionable thing I've ever seen you post.
AFAIK, that isn't treyf per se.

For a self-proclaimed rape activist, this woman is dumb as a fucking sack of rocks...
There was another guy there, Shakir, who was desperately trying to get with me. I kissed him once but he seemed drunk so I told him it was bad timing, I had already met someone. Before heading out, I went upstairs to say hi to one more friend, Clyde from the states. Shakir followed me upstairs and said he was going to take a shower. He invited me to join. I said yes because the water at my current hostel is pretty cold and after 2 days of being sick, I just really wanted a hot shower.
So you know this guy is obsessed with you and also, he's drunk. So what do you do. GET NAKED IN THE SHOWER WITH HIM. GREAT IDEA.
I'll let you guess how that story ends, or you can read about it here.
Before you accuse me of defending rape: I'm not saying she deserved it, I'm saying she's a moron. There's a difference.

Those are for when they're already reasonably certain that you are who you claimed to be (because you've already signed in with your username and password).
They already know it's you; they just want to have you stamp something that's objectively "yours" (name or signature) onto the form so that they can legally say that you "signed" it and therefore are legally bound to whatever it was.
-
Is the digital signature on my post you replied to not legally binding?
-
Can it be looked up in some government database to confirm that it's you?
-
Dunno if mit.edu counts as "government", but my key is here:
https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x018BAB45DB2D2B24
-
Can it be uniquely tied to your social security number in a way that lawyers find convenient?
It doesn't, by the way... mit.edu is not government.
-
Is my name tied to my social security number in any way? The key contains more information than my typed signature would.
-
Is my name tied to my social security number in any way?
Yes, but not one-to-one, which is why banks require more than your name to prove who you are. There might be other people with your name.
The key contains more information
Irrelevant if it can't easily be directly tied back to you, and besides, not everyone has one.

So I turned on the TV because Stephen Colbert is on soon. I was greeted by a CBS 58 news story about Ronald McDonald presenting an award to a public school teacher for something about telling people to write about Martin Luther King.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find that story on their website, but I was able to find these uplifting stories:
P.S. I found the story finally:

Good to get an award but I don't think I'd like to receive it from Ronald McDonald. At least he doesn't look like this any more:
Related: I worked at McDonalds when Peter Simon was the guy in the clown outfit. He got kicked out when he visited our branch because he asked a kid how many doughnuts he reckoned he could fit on his knob. Good times.

My neighbor is a flight attendant. He just posted this photo of someone's "therapy pet," on his flight.

someone's "therapy pet,"
Fuck those people. They are hateful scumbags who make it worse for everyone else. If I were in charge, the mere act of trying to bring something like a goddamn turkey on a plane or into a public building, claiming it's a "therapy pet", would get you banned from every business in that category for a year: no flying, or no restaurants at all, etc.
Also, if it's not an actual service animal the ADA doesn't require businesses to accommodate.

Good. That means I can hold out hope that some day I'll be able to fly with my companion giraffe.

I hope they let me bring my therapy Draltha. I just hope there's enough leg room for an animal 2^5 times the volume of a human.
-
I wanna bring Iago, my Juvenile Pink Moa. He's not too tall for a plane but I might have to get him a seat with extended leg room.
-
What about Steve, the therapy boa constrictor? He's particularly therapeutic on long flights where there's a fractious seat-kicking child one row behindβ¦
-
Yeah, that could work. In my case, Iago's a vicious bird, takes no nonsense from fractious seat-kicking children and with a single whistle will dive in beak first.

Sorry...

Bad idea: discounting meat at the deli counter to the point where dozens of people have a scrum to fight for it. It's like Black Friday all year round!

I refuse to fly unless they let me keep my therapy vial of Ebola viruses!

No therapy snakes?
Guess it will have to be a therapy wolverine.

Frankly, if you can't get by with a dog or cat as an emotional support animal, you probably shouldn't be out in public anyway. (I'm not saying "we don't want you here", I'm saying "your social anxieties or whatever are probably too strong for it to be safe for you to be out."
A turkey? A horse? WTF, people.
-
Also, if it's not an actual service animal the ADA doesn't require businesses to accommodate.
Yes, but there's no way to tell. Since there's no legal requirement for them to carry the animal's papers everywhere to prove that it's an actual service animal, you cannot ask them to prove it before you decide whether to accommodate their animal or not.
Basically, if someone claims it's their service animal, and you decide to trust your common sense instead that says that can't be an actual service animal, you're taking a huge risk... if they come back and sue you with all the right papers saying yes it is then you're royally fucked.
You do have one bright possibility: If the animal hasn't been properly trained to perform as a service animal, then nobody has to accommodate its shenanigans. You'll be perfectly within your rights to put both it and its owner out if it's not behaving properly (unfortunately, that's rather difficult if it happens at 30,000 feet); that means being quiet and non-disruptive, ignoring any distractions, and interacting only with its human (obviously this doesn't apply if someone asked and got permission to pet the animal, or if its human is having an emergency and it needs to get help).
-
Yes, but there's no way to tell.
As someone who's wife has an actual service dog and has had to argue with business owners about it I assure you I am keenly aware of all the issues.

Can I invite your wife to [SFLN]? How about the dog?
